"Go For Launch" from "Apollo 13" and Blue Danube Waltz. Unoriginal, I know but...

I also found lots of John Barry's background orchestrations from "Diamonds are Forever", "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker" carried a very spaceflight-worthy atmosphere.

"Enterprising Young Men" from the 2009 Star Trek reboot.

And "The Right Stuff" - hands down!

Jan Hammer's Space Scapes

Listening to this, I half expected Crocket and Tubbs to show up!

I'm a fan of the little known band "Ship of Fools". Their "Diesel Spaceship" is quite good. Many of their songs sample NASA audio.

What about the Linkin Park song "Leave Out All The Rest"?

The music video is space-themed, BTW.

I don't like his attitude, but he still manages to make it funny.

I'm somewhat surprised at how well the lyrics of "Castaway" (by Benny Benassi) work in a space setting. It's like what a probe would sing, if it wasn't a lifeless machine.

Intro and the first song of Arjen Lucassen`s "Space Metal" album:

Love the James Bond theme!
Did I miss it, or has noone yet mentioned the Cosmos theme and Alpha (also used in Cosmos) by Vangelis.

One of my favorite pieces for a launch would be the first minute or so of "Galactic Visions" a rather unknown 70ies soundtrack used heavily by audio books from the period.

Kinda shocked that everyone didn't all at once answer "Fanfare for the Common Man".

Saw a shuttle movie when I was young that opened with this song playing while you saw a panning shot of the shuttle stack at LC-39 at dawn.

Whenever studying AE gets too stressful, I cue that up on my ipod and get inspired.

Also, Shiny Toy Guns does a pretty sweet new version of 'Major Tom'.

Good band!

And I notice a lot of people are naming songs, but not putting on their youtube video. Best you all do that.

For a slightly cheesier, more pop alternative to all the classics and rock...how about Kiss The Stars by Pixie Lott?

Best we all do NOT put in youtube links?

Black Sabbath: Into the Void ( Rocket engines burning fuel so fast / Up into the night sky they blast )

Brian Eno: No One Receiving (It will cut the night before it as it leaves the day that saw it/ On its metalled ways)

The Eagles: Journey of the Sorcerer (the HGTG music)

Level 42: Starchild (and out beyond the blue, theres a place for people too/It's time for us to go)

Philip Glass: Pruitt Igoe
